corriejn's review against another edition
- Loveable characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
2.5
I really, really hated this book. It was a gradual but very steady decline from being into it at the start, and just hating it more and more through the entire thing, right up until the end. I did not like the main character (or many of the other characters, for that matter). I hated the really creepy AF main romantic relationship. I hated how many things the author got wildly wrong about wildlife research and conservation (like things that were pretty egregious and would have been super simple to just google). I hated the whole storyline. I hated how predictable some of the things were, that the author tried to keep mysterious throughout the book and reveal later.
I do get why some people might like this book. They're just wrong. (Sorry, but did I mention I really really hate it?)
